| Flowright Profil: New Penguin | Hi there. I have tried many times finding the best transparency tweak for WIndow XP to be transformed into Vista. I have checked out this tweak from Crystal XP
http://www.crystalxp.net/galerie/e [...] -tools.htm
But just wondering if there is an addon that adjusts the font, I mean its hard to read "title" of the windows.
I currently have Inspirat 2.1.0, been using it for some time.
What I really want my PC to becomes is something like
In comparison to
which is blurred, and physically blurred, the font isn't as clear as I expected to be. I am not whining about the quality, but I just want to know does any one out there have another truetransparency or aero theme whatever that can bypass this lousy fuzzy theme still having the transparency of seeing the background on the 'edge' of the window.
I have tried that 9.0.1 Vista Transformation Pack which fails to work...and does not even reach anything close to Vista Inspirat. So I decided to keep Inspirat on while then...can I please have some help?
Also, can I know how to keep track of this post?

Euh, je voudrais savoir si quelqu'un pourrais me repondre si c'est bien normal que quand vous appliquer le TrueTransparency, le font est super flou...cest bien normal? Si cest le cas, y a til un moyen de le rendre plus 'sharp' comme la deuxieme image que vous voyiez?
Enfin, cest vrai qu'on vois une grande difference entre la vrai vista et le TrueTransparency. Cependant, je ne complain pas le logiciel, sauf je veux bien un autre qui fasse la meme fonction --- rendre les bords des fenetres transparentes...sans avoir le titre des fenetres (fonts) flou, ca fais mal au yeux...plutot dire cest pas pleasant de les lire..
J'ai tester le Vista 9.0.1 Transformation Pack, qui a merveilleusement failli...sinon je lai mal installer. Des conseils SVP?

You can edit the skin.ini file to change or remove the glow around the text (the line with GlowColor). | |

skin.ini file?
Where do I get that?
I see the TrueTransparency.exe
and there is config.ini
And yes I do see a folder called "skins" but nothing skin.ini... Message edited by Flowright on 12-09-2008 at 02:04:16 PM

Flowright Profil: New Penguin | Ok wait I found it
But what should I change it to??
C:\....TrueTransparency\skin\Aero\Normal\skin.ini
I have this
GlowColor=255,255,255,250
What should I modify to take off the glow and have a good visibility? | |

I you don't want glow, you can remove the line. Or you can try another color, the format is Red, Blue, Green, Alpha. | |
truth ------------------------- Profil: Big Penguin | change the value 250 ( which is alpha) to less, something around 40. ---------------

uttaresh The Penguin Master Profil: Penguin Pro | Yeah, that would seriously reduce the glow. ---------------

Well I woudn't say that did not fixed the glow... I tried modifying to 0 and it still worked xD
Well it's ok to use for some while, but is there a better transparency that could probably work closer to the Vista one? I mean would there be another Transparency software...? | |

I thought you were talking about the ugly glow around the text.
You can already change the font if you don't like it. | |

Errm then what is the font that the Vista screenshot is using? And how do you change it ? I know Microsoft word....but not changing the whole XP theme....as applying fonts in every windows...I don't know how.
Are you saying right click on desktop > appearance > font size > choice???
Well I only have Tahoma
Calibri Arial
Basically they pretty much look the same . | |

Well, it now closely looking at it, it's getting better than my first screen shot at the top...but is there any improvement? | |

You need to edit the skin.ini file of your skin.

I don't change the font rendering since my screenshot. | |
Flowright Profil: New Penguin | Uhuh, I agree, it fixes up the problem. But can I get any better than that? I don't really understand what you mean... I don't want to get you annoy for repeating or anything. What I want to ask in my post, is - is there another software other than TrueTransparency that delivers an effect of transparency, that matches more with the genuine Vista Ultimate glassy transparency? | |
